EnglishWhich Stores Does Music Software Deals Track for Audio Plugin Deals?
Updated
Music Software Deals aggregates plugin pricing across a fixed list of music retailers and manufacturer stores, then shows every store carrying a given product side by side so you can compare prices in one place. The site lists these stores: ADSR Sounds, AudioDeluxe, AudioPluginDeals, Best Service, Brainworx, EastWest, Gear4music, Guitar Center, iZotope, Kazrog, KVR Audio, Loot Audio, MeldaProduction, Native Instruments, Neural DSP, oeksound, Plugin Alliance, Plugin Boutique, PluginFox, ProducerSpot, Pulse Audio, Softube, Soundiron, Spitfire Audio, Sweetwater, Universal Audio, United Plugins, WA Production, Waves, and Zero-G.
How the store list shows up on a product page
Each product page collects offers from every tracked store that stocks that item, so a single plugin can appear with several different prices at once. The site also reports how many stores carry it.
Two examples from the homepage:
| Product | Stores carrying it | Prices shown |
|---|---|---|
| Universal Audio API Vision Channel Strip | 8 stores | $29.00 at PluginFox, Sweetwater, Guitar Center, Universal Audio, KVR Audio, AudioDeluxe, Gear4music; $32.00 elsewhere |
| Universal Audio 1176 Classic Limiter Collection | 10 stores | $29.00 at Plugin Boutique, Best Service, PluginFox, Sweetwater, Guitar Center, Universal Audio, JRR Shop, AudioDeluxe, Gear4music; $32.00 elsewhere |
In both cases most stores sit at the same price, with one or two charging a few dollars more — which is exactly the kind of gap the multi-store view is meant to surface.
Why the same plugin costs different amounts
Retailers run their own sales on their own schedules, so a discount at one store doesn't automatically appear at another. The homepage makes this visible: Solid State Logic Bus Compressor 2 is listed at $149.00 with a $19.00 lowest price (87% off), and SSL Native Channel Strip 2 shows the same $149.00 list against a $19.00 low (87% off). Those lows are tied to specific stores, not to the product universally.
Finding the lowest price or best store
- Search by company or product to pull up a single plugin and see all store offers together.
- Check the price history page for that product to see how its price has moved over time — useful for judging whether the current deal is actually low. Examples of tracked products include u-he Hive 2, UVI Falcon 2027, and Universal Audio's API Vision Channel Strip.
- Set a custom price alert if you want to be notified when the price drops rather than checking manually.
- Browse all deals or use the per-store sale links to see what each retailer is running right now.
What this means for buying
Because the site tracks both retailers (Sweetwater, Guitar Center, Gear4music) and manufacturer stores (Universal Audio, Native Instruments, iZotope, Waves, Softube), the cheapest option isn't always a third-party retailer — it can be the maker's own store. The multi-store comparison is the fastest way to catch that, and the price history is what tells you whether the current number is worth acting on.
